I recall working with Larry at CCTV at the UofM. He was friendly and easy to work with. R.I.P.

The CTV family has lost a great friend. Larry was the first Commissioner that made me feel welcomed to CTV when I first started at CTV. He was always a welcomed sight when he came to CTV as a member of CTAC or a volunteer for one of our many productions.
CTV was blessed having Larry as part of our lives.

My deepest sympathies to the Morrisette family. I tried to reconnect with Larry when I returned to the Shoreview area but never heard back from him. Larry was a program director at the University of Minnesota Radio and Television Department in the early Sixties. I was a student employee at the station and I will always remember Larry for his kind and "gentile" push telling his camera man where to get the next shot or improve his current view! His sense of humor was a great asset and everyone who worked with him enjoyed his professionalism and that he was a very personable individual.

As Sam and Luke's daycare lady, I heard from them that Larry was a very special Grandpa, indeed. How fortunate they are to have had such a wonderful man in their lives. What better legacy than that of his love for his grandchildren. Our family (Getachew, Kathleen, Hannah and Rachel) will hold you close in our hearts and prayers as you get through this heartbreaking and difficult time. God Bless.

My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. I volunteered with Larry for 5 years on various television programs at CTV15. He was always a joy to work with and will be greatly missed.
